Probably a fake story so they can quit the season without looking weak.

A big Buckeye account shooting love at UNC.

"peeking"

At any rate

Another big win! Bracketology has our reward being in Gonzaga's quadrant... no thanks. Give me Illinois.

UVA decides to be cool like Duke.

Ga Tech gets freebie to ACC final. UNC-FSU still playing as of right now.

Shit got tense at the end of Maryland-TTUN today:

That...THAT is a fucking insult and a half!!! I expect this is going to lead to many heated games between the two.

You can hear Turgeon on TV telling him "don't hang the banner because your banners come down."

OH SNAP

This bodes excellently for next week's real tournament.

Or are they quarantining an extra week beforehand? I sure hope so at this rate.

OSU just cannot close out games.

But they did! (eventually)

Everything for UNC at this point is just gravy. Beating Va Tech was gravy. If we can handle FSU again, awesome. If not, we tried.

Not sure if nearly blowing a 4-minute 13-pt lead counts as closing out, but it's a win.

They’re ridiculous.

This is cute.

All of these covid teams are miraculously ok to play in March Madness if selected.

I'm guessing "Within the program" means an athletic trainer or someone got it, but not someone on the team, or traveling with them, etc.

Well, OSU - #2 seed; UNC - #8 seed. In the same region. I sure hope we play each other

You probably do, too.

It was my first thought when I saw the bracket. Good luck!

Duke + Louisville turn down NIT invites

NIT's bracket...oof...not a lot of ratings power this year.

Gamblers love the Zags and Vegas hates TTUN.

Also, this waste of money:

Creighton, which lost to Georgetown 73-48 in Saturday's Big East tournament championship game, had attracted the largest reported national championship bet at sportsbook PointsBet, a $10,000 wager on the Bluejays at 20-1 odds.
